Recurrent Prostate Cancer

Recurrent prostate
cancer is the term for prostate cancer that returns
after primary treatment. Recurrent prostate cancer is
treated with salvage therapy, which in most cases will
be a different type of therapy than the first line treatment.
Recurrent prostate cancer may first be monitored with
watchful waiting, or treated immediately. Prostate cancer
hormone therapy is a common treatment for recurrent
prostate cancer. Patients with recurrent prostate cancer
should speak to their physicians to decide which salvage
therapy they should pursue next.
